Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts, restoring a youthful, firm and naturally elevated appearance—without changing breast volume
breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery designed to lift and firm sagging breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue. It’s ideal for women experiencing breast ptosis due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
How Does the Procedure Work?
During surgery, the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped, the nipple is repositioned to a more natural height, and excess skin is removed. The procedure does not increase breast volume, but implants can be added if desired. It is performed under deep sedation and takes approximately 2 to 3 hours.

What to Expect After Surgery
Swelling and mild discomfort are normal in the first few days. A support bra will be worn to protect healing tissues. Most patients return to work after about a week and resume social activities shortly after. Results continue to improve as the breasts settle into their new shape over the following weeks.

FAQ
Will a breast lift reduce my breast size?
No. A breast lift reshapes and elevates the existing breast tissue without altering volume. If more fullness is desired, implants can be added during the same procedure.
Do I need to wear a bra after surgery?
Yes. A surgical support bra must be worn for several weeks to protect the results and aid proper healing.
Are the results permanent?
The results are long-lasting, but aging, gravity, and future pregnancies may gradually affect breast shape over time. A healthy lifestyle helps preserve the results.
Will there be scars?
Yes. As with any surgery involving skin removal, scarring is expected. Incisions are carefully placed to be as discreet as possible. However, the healing process is highly individual: in many cases, scars fade significantly over time, but this varies from person to person. Your surgeon will provide specific guidance to support optimal healing.
